Over a span of only three months we successfully dreamt up and executed our best Gallery ever. That timing is extremely short, and without the exceptional people who helped there wouldn't have been a Gizmodo Gallery at all. Thank you.

The Gizmodo Gallery is unlike any other consumer electronics party or event. All of the Gallery item curation is done by our editorial team, and we don't accept payments for the products we showcase. It'd be easy enough to just sell out all the space in the Gallery and have gadget companies set up shop like a Best Buy or a trade show. We've always felt that approach offers very little to our attendees. Instead, we try to imagine a Gallery that actually brings the fun of Gizmodo.com to life. I think we pulled it off once again.

Because we don't go the easy route, it means all the people involved in the planning process have to trust our dreams to actually help out. It takes a impressively large list of people who go out of their way to make the Gallery possible. This post is for them.
